#HooverDam - the 8th wonder of the world 🗺!! It was a massive and ambitious project- blocking the powerful and unstoppable #coloradoriver ⛰📍 It was the biggest national project dated by 1931- 1935, made it history of #LasVegas 🏆🥇 It provided all six adjacent states with water and electricity

Yesterday I drove by myself to Hoover Dam (because I’m 25, yo’), and it was a treat to see this engineering marvel after missing it in 2017 while on my road trip. This concrete construction is pretty stunning, placed right into the surrounding mountain valley, in an understatedly beautiful way #damnthatsanicedam

Lake Mead, formed by the Hoover Dam, is the largest reservoir in the US and serves the states of Arizona, California and Nevada. This aerial shows the water level fluctuations; if you look closely at the right hand mountain, you can see a white boat and really see the size of these cliffs. Below the frame of this picture is a marina and a floating restaurant where we enjoyed walking around and feeding the fish in the deep, clear water. #explore#nevada

Standing on the Hoover Dam, one of our country’s great feats in the 1930s, looking down the Colorado River. The mountains on the right belong to Nevada; the left is Arizona. To help put it into perspective how standing on a 726 ft. dam feels like, those “white dots” at the bottom middle of the photo are trucks. This is one impressive view, and just makes you appreciate the effort and lives that went into its completion. #explore#hooverdam
